Find your local Help to Buy agent

Your local Help to Buy agent can guide you through the options available and explain the eligibility and affordability criteria. Help to Buy agents are appointed by the Government’s Homes and Communities Agency.

Help to Buy agents administer the Help to Buy: Equity Loan scheme but not the mortgage guarantee scheme. They have the authority to give the go-ahead for you to purchase a home with help from the equity loan scheme. The agents make other key decisions during the purchase process. For the Help to Buy: Mortgage Guarantee, please contact the participating lenders directly.
